Formatting & Requirements for Paper 2
• Length: Paper length is 1500 words minimum (excluding title page, references, and any graphics/tables or charts). Length should be determined by coverage of topics, some authors will need more than the minimum word count to appropriately cover all of the assignment requirements.
• Resources: This is a research based assignment, sources must be scholarly, use of web sites is expected but they must be reliable and use references (i.e. they cite where the information came from). Minimum of 5 academic sources, one of which must be a peer reviewed journal article. No sources that end in .com
• Thesis: There should be a thesis (in italics) that clearly states your opinion, not a topic/introductory sentence.
• Formatting:
• Typed, double spaced, Times Roman font, 1 inch margins, font size 12.
• Title page: including name, class section number, name of the assignment and your specific title for the assignment.
• The entire assignment should be strictly double-spaced, with no additional space before or after each line (check you paragraph settings).
• Papers must have running headers with your name (not the title of the paper) and page numbers, on every page. This is in the header not the body of the document.
• Citations must be in APA citation format for both in text citations and reference list. Cite all sources you use. When referring to a source cited in an article do not cite the original article if you did not read it, use “as cited in”.
• The assignment must use college-level writing including spelling, verb usage and tense, grammar, vocabulary, sentence formation and paragraph development. Use of direct quotes should be limited (not more than 10% of paper), paraphrasing is appropriate for most situations.
• Papers should be submitted to Turnitin via BeachBoard. It is your responsibility to make sure your file is a type that can be read. Turnitin/BB will not tell you if it cannot read your file. Double check that your paper has been submitted by checking your Turnitin Report (not Receipt). Preferred submission is Microsoft Word.
• Use the rubric to check your work for adherence to all criteria.
• Plagiarism will not be tolerated, if in doubt, cite. Direct quotations (meaning the authors words) require quotation marks as well as citations. Not understanding the need to use quotation marks and in-text citations is not a defense.
